Standard 5 Teachers know how to manage a classroom. The teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.
Evidence 1: Action Research Project—The Effects of Student Centered Technology Use on Learning Vocabulary
Rationale 1: For my Action Research, I studied the effects of student-centered technology use learning vocabulary in two sections of Spanish 3. During the two and a half week study, technology was used to support the regular classroom instruction and as a means for students to acquire, practice and apply information. My Action Research Project is attached.
KSD 5.K.1 The teacher can use knowledge of human motivation and behavior drawn from the foundational sciences of psychology, anthropology, and sociology to develop strategies for organizing and supporting
individual and group work. I gained insight on this topic as I reviewed literature during my Action Research. Students worked individually and in groups for both technology based activities and during regular instruction. 5.S.6 The teacher analyzes the classroom environment and makes decisions and adjustments to enhance social relationships, student motivation and engagement, and productive work. I evaluated my findings and determined that technology use can have a positive effect on learning vocabulary. How and when technology is used has significant importance; technology can not just be used for technology’s sake. 5.D.5 The teacher is committed to continuous development of individual students’ abilities and considers how different motivational strategies are likely to encourage this development for each student. I continue to use technology to enhance student learning, but know that there are still traditional methods of instruction that are motivational to students.
